This type of crap with the '/path/to/wine' in a guide needs to be removed from the linux community or at least only tolerated when an example is provided. It's misleading and lets people think this will run flawlessly, which it doesn't come even close to that. Until functionality with the new beta client is smoothed out, this really shouldn't be listed as a platinum. I could click around and hear sound, but could see nothing. I get into the game but would be met with a black screen. With DirectX the game straight up wouldn't load any assets. The guide should probably just say 'play in openGL only'. I've tested this multiple times and it's fairly consistent.ģ)Lastly, don't even think about playing this in DirectX mode. Particularly if I get invited to a game by someone on my friend's list, soon after I join the game the beta client crashes with a bugsplat. Bugsplats, sometimes it just won't open and closes immediately, and other times it will open to a black screen and sit there.Ģ)When the beta client does get started, it crashes unpredictably.
Sometimes I literally have to start up the client 5 times in a row dealing with unpredictable results. After finally getting it to run, the beta client runs like junk, and really just doesn't work.ġ)The beta client (which we will all be forced to use in 2 days) doesn't start reliably. Even following the directions here, getting this installed took forever and was utter hell.
